As far as Ranjith is concerned, before entering the Tamil film industry, actor-director had watched his people on screen — the lumpens, the goons, the drunks, and the village idiots. When Ranjith did set his foot in the industry, back in 2006, he was asked to not speak of his background, identity, and above all the fact that he is Dalit. Though Ranjith agreed to the norms, on the inside he was enraged by the stereotypes and the misrepresentation, which further pushed him into the director’s chair.
Ranjith, after over 10 years and 5 films, is known for his searing depiction of caste oppression in daily life. The 2018 film Kaala, which starred superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role, featured the actor taking on a powerful upper caste villain to protect land rights.
